[Investigating the symptoms of white matter disorders]

Abstract

In this presentation, I will examine the intricate systemic connections in the white matter and the disturbances that occur due to diseases. In particular, I will discuss Marchiafava-Bignami disease, leukodystrophy with neuroaxonal spheroids, and myotonic dystrophy. Investigation of all three diseases reveals the crosstalk essential for the healthy brain and the resulting dysfunctions that follow lesions of different etiologies.
